Echoes of the Maestro – Song 16 – Oththa Rooba

Illayaraaja has given us another fantastic song from the same album, Badrakaali. A few weeks ago, I shared a song that was banned from All India Radio; that song was very folksy. However, this one is more of a song where both lovers respond to each other. As usual, Illayaraja’s touch with Malaysia Vasudevan and S. Janaki’s voices adds more fun. Do give it a listen!

The same happened to veteran actor Sivakumar who until this film only acted as Goody Two Shoes and this film showed the audience another side of the actor.
